One Year Ago

One year ago today, our sweet baby girl was born.

She was just as we had imagined. She stole our hearts. She made us parents. She completely changed our lives. And she was the most beautiful thing we had ever seen. 

We are so ridiculously lucky. Ava is so smart, sweet, happy, and beautiful...and she is a good sleeper on top of all that. She makes it very easy for these first-time parents. 

For the sake of comparison, below are my favorites from her monthly photo shoots. 

Happy first birthday, Ava! What a wonderful, adventure of a year it has been. We love you so much!
